To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world!

About Me

My name is Guido Smits and I'm 25 years old. I live in Limbricht, which is a small town in the South of The Netherlands. I am in College and want to become an English teacher. My hobbies are: playing the guitar and the piano, going to concerts, cycling, karate and sailing. I played in the following bands: Rogue, Black Wish, Price of Working with Rice and Not For Sale. Nowadays I am a singer-songwriter by the name of Jay Smith. In the summers of 2004 and 2005 I worked at a YMCA summercamp on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, called Camp Silver Beach. Ow yeah, and I am a huge admirer of the Commonwealth, so some countries I would love to visit in the future include South-Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Canada! I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests
